|

email and news rather than speech. Rarely, the variants ‘VHLL’
|
||
and ‘MLL’ are found. VHLL stands for ‘Very-High-Level
|
||
Language’ and is used to describe a <a href="../B/bondage-and-discipline-language.html"><i class="glossterm">bondage-and-discipline
|
||
language</i></a> that the speaker happens to like; Prolog and Backus's
|

FP are often called VHLLs. ‘MLL’ stands for
|
||
‘Medium-Level Language’ and is sometimes used half-jokingly to
|
||
describe <a href="../C/C.html"><i class="glossterm">C</i></a>, alluding to its

‘structured-assembler’ image. See also <a href="../L/languages-of-choice.html"><i class="glossterm">languages of

choice</i></a>.</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="hirsute.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../H.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="hoarding.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">hirsute </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> hoarding</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
